Exploring factors that influence the behavior response to novel object tests in young thoroughbred horses: investigating sex, test site and auction history

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
IntroductionThe novel object test is one of the three most common fear tests in veterinary science and employed in several different species. Although having been applied in several different studies in horses, it is surprising that there is no ...

Brain Monoamine Asymmetry in Chicks Subjected to a Separation-Stress Procedure with Litter Substrate

The Journal of Poultry Science, 2015
Activation of the right hemispheric neurotransmitter systems is related to negative emotion and stress in mammals, but this relationship is not fully known in birds. The effect of the presence of sawdust litter on behavior and brain monoamine laterality

Embedded neural network for real-time animal behavior classification [PDF]

, 2018
Recent biological studies have focused on understanding animal interactions and welfare. To help biolo- gists to obtain animals’ behavior information, resources like wireless sensor networks are needed.

Animal models to improve our understanding and treatment of suicidal behavior

Translational Psychiatry, 2017
Worldwide, suicide is a leading cause of death. Although a sizable proportion of deaths by suicide may be preventable, it is well documented that despite major governmental and international investments in research, education and clinical practice ...

The [2Fe‐2S] cluster of mitochondrial outer membrane protein mitoNEET has an O2‐regulated nitric oxide access tunnel

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The mitochondrial outer membrane iron–sulphur ([Fe‐S]) protein mitoNEET is a target of the type‐2 diabetes drug pioglitazone. Its unknown molecular function is linked to respiratory complex activity and mitochondrial function. We discovered that O2 protects the mitoNEET [2Fe‐2S] cluster against NO oxidation and desensitization towards reduction by H2S.

Does the expensive brain hypothesis apply to amphibians and reptiles?

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Vertebrate brains show extensive variation in relative size. The expensive brain hypothesis argues that one important source of this variation is linked to a species’ ability to generate the energy required to sustain the brain, especially during periods

SemiMultiPose: A Semi-supervised Multi-animal Pose Estimation Framework [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Multi-animal pose estimation is essential for studying animals' social behaviors in neuroscience and neuroethology. Advanced approaches have been proposed to support multi-animal estimation and achieve state-of-the-art performance. However, these models rarely exploit unlabeled data during training even though real world applications have exponentially

Time-Frequency Analysis Reveals Pairwise Interactions in Insect Swarms

, 2015
The macroscopic emergent behavior of social animal groups is a classic example of dynamical self-organization, and is thought to arise from the local interactions between individuals. Determining these interactions from empirical data sets of real animal

Neuropeptidergic integration of behavior in Trichoplax adhaerens, an animal without synapses

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2017
Trichoplax adhaerens is a flat, millimeter-sized marine animal that adheres to surfaces and grazes on algae. Trichoplax displays a repertoire of different feeding behaviors despite the apparent absence of a true nervous system with electrical or chemical

Characterization of fungal carbonyl sulfide hydrolase belonging to clade D β‐carbonic anhydrase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Here, we performed a functional analysis of the fungal enzymes belonging to clade D of the β‐class carbonic anhydrase family (β‐D‐CA). The β‐D‐CAs in the basidiomycete Gloeophyllum trabeum and the ascomycete Trichoderma harzianum showed very low activity in the hydration of CO2 but exhibited high activity in the hydrolysis of carbonyl sulfide (COS ...
